Answer:

Explanation:

Most copper is used in electrical equipment such as wiring and motors. This is because it conducts both heat and electricity very well, and can be drawn into wires. It also has uses in construction (for example roofing and plumbing), and industrial machinery (such as heat exchangers).

When hydrogen sulfide gas is bubbled into a solution of sodium hydroxide, the reaction forms sodium sulfide and water. How many

Mumz [18]

Answer:

1.61 g Na₂S

Explanation:

To find the mass of sodium sulfide (Na₂S) generated from hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH), you need to (1) construct the balanced chemical equation, then (2) calculate the molar masses of each molecule involved, then (3) convert grams of each reagent to grams of the product (via the molar masses and mole-to-mole ratio from equation coefficients), and then (4) determine the limiting reagent and final answer. It is important to arrange the conversions in a way that allows for the cancellation of units (the desired unit should be in the numerator).

(Step 1)

The unbalanced equation:

H₂S + NaOH ---> Na₂S + H₂O

Reactants: 3 hydrogen, 1 sulfur, 1 sodium, 1 oxygen

Products: 2 hydrogen, 1 sulfur, 2 sodium, 1 oxygen

The balanced equation:

H₂S + 2 NaOH ---> Na₂S + 2 H₂O

Reactants: 4 hydrogen, 1 sulfur, 2 sodium 2 oxygen

Products: 4 hydrogen, 1 sulfur, 2 sodium, 4 oxygen

(Step 2)

Molar Mass (H₂S): 2(1.008 g/mol) + 32.065 g/mol

Molar Mass (H₂S): 34.081 g/mol

Molar Mass (NaOH): 22.990 g/mol + 15.998 g/mol + 1.008 g/mol

Molar Mass (NaOH): 39.998 g/mol

Molar Mass (Na₂S): 2(22.990 g/mol) + 32.065 g/mol

Molar Mass (Na₂S): 78.045 g/mol

(Step 3)

1.50 g H₂S 1 mole 1 mole Na₂S 78.045 g
----------------- x ---------------- x -------------------- x ----------------- =
34.081 g 1 mole H₂S 1 mole

= 3.43 g Na₂S

1.65 g NaOH 1 mole 1 mole Na₂S 78.045 g
-------------------- x ---------------- x ----------------------- x ---------------- =
39.998 g 2 moles NaOH 1 mole

= 1.61 g Na₂S

(Step 4)

Because NaOH generates less product, it will run out before all of the H₂S is used. This makes NaOH the limiting reagent and the final answer 1.61 grams Na₂S.

An ion of oxygen- 16 contains 8 protons and has a 2- charge. How many electrons does it have?

Verdich [7]

Answer:

i would say 10, so the anser is A.

Explanation:

because there are the same number of protons and electrons, therefore for a regular O, you are supposed to have only 8 protons, but it is charged, thus, whatever the charge is will be taken into consideration into how much the proton and electron doe it have. Thus, for this case, it has 10, because the charge is negative and you have 8 electron plus 2 = 10.

A solution is 40.00% by volume benzene (C6H6) in carbon tetrachloride at 20°C. The vapor pressure of pure benzene at this temper

finlep [7]

Answer:

The total vapor pressure is 84.29 mmHg

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Solution = 40.00 (v/v) % benzene in CCl4

Temperature = 20.00 °C

The vapor pressure of pure benzene at 20.00 °C = 74.61 mmHg

Density of benzene is 0.87865 g/cm3

The vapor pressure of pure carbon tetrachloride is 91.32 mmHg

We suppose the total volume = 100 mL

Step 2: Calculate volume benzene and CCl4

40 % benzene = 40 mL

60 % mL CCl4 = 60 mL

Step 3: Calculate mass benzene

Mass = density * volume

Mass of benzene = 40.00 mL * 0.87865 g/mL = 35.146 g

Step 4: Calculate moles of benzene

Moles = mass / molar mass

Number of moles of benzene = 35.146 grams / 78 g/mol = 0.45059 mol

Step 5: Calculate mass of CCl4

Mass of CCl4 = 60 mL * 1.5940 g/mL = 95.64 g

Step 6: Calculate moles CCl4

Number of moles of CCl4 = 95.64 grams / 154g/mol = 0.62104 mol

Step 7: Calculate total number of moles

Total number of moles = moles benzene + moles CCl4

0.45059 moles + 0.62104 moles = 1.07163 mol

Step 8: Calculate mole fraction benzene and CCl4

Mole fraction = moles benzene / total moles

Mole fraction of benzene = 0.45059 / 1.07163 = 0.4205

Mole fraction of CCl4 = 0.62104 / 1.07163 = 0.5795

Step 9: Calculate partial pressure

Partial pressure of benzene = 0.4205 * 74.61 = 31.37 mmHg

Partial pressure of CCl4 = 0.5795 * 91.32 = 52.92 mmHg

Total vapor pressure = 31.37 + 52.92 = 84.29 mmHg

The total vapor pressure is 84.29 mmHg

Consider the reaction below for which K = 78.2 atm-1. A(g) + B(g) ↔ C(g) Assume that 0.386 mol C(g) is placed in the cylinder re

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

1.65 L

Explanation:

The equation for the reaction is given as:

A + B ⇄ C

where;

numbers of moles = 0.386 mol C (g)

Volume = 7.29 L

Molar concentration of C = $\frac{0.386}{7.29}$

= 0.053 M

A + B ⇄ C

Initial 0 0 0.530

Change +x +x - x

Equilibrium x x (0.0530 - x)

$K = \frac{[C]}{[A][B]}$

where

K is given as ; 78.2 atm-1.

So, we have:

$78.2=\frac{[0.0530-x]}{[x][x]}$

$78.2= \frac{(0.0530-x)}{(x^2)}$

$78.2x^2= 0.0530-x$

$78.2x^2+x-0.0530=0$

Using quadratic formula;

$\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$

where; a = 78.2 ; b = 1 ; c= - 0.0530

= $\frac{-b+\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$ or $\frac{-b-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$

= $\frac{-(1)+\sqrt{(1)^2-4(78.2)(-0.0530)} }{2(78.2)}$ or $\frac{-(1)-\sqrt{(1)^2-4(78.2)(-0.0530)} }{2(78.2)}$

= 0.0204 or -0.0332

Going by the positive value; we have:

x = 0.0204

[A] = 0.0204

[B] = 0.0204

[C] = 0.0530 - x

= 0.0530 - 0.0204

= 0.0326

Total number of moles at equilibrium = 0.0204 + 0.0204 + 0.0326

= 0.0734

Finally, we can calculate the volume of the cylinder at equilibrium using the ideal gas; PV =nRT

if we make V the subject of the formula; we have:

$V = \frac{nRT}{P}$

where;

P (pressure) = 1 atm

n (number of moles) = 0.0734 mole

R (rate constant) = 0.0821 L-atm/mol-K

T = 273.15 K (fixed constant temperature )

V (volume) = ???

$V=\frac{(0.0734*0.0821*273.15)}{(1.00)}$

V = 1.64604

V ≅ 1.65 L

At which point on the roller coaster will the car have the greatest amount of Kinetic energy?

Elena-2011 [213]

I’m going to say the answer is most likely X because memetic energy is energy being used at that moment. Because the coaster is going fastest at X we can assume that the answer is X
